A new season of sports
Europa League: Sporting Lisbon vs Young
Competition time: 2024-02-23 04:00 Friday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Sporting Lisbon has been in great form recently, with a current record of 18 wins, one draw and two losses, and Benfica at the top of the league table with 55 points, tied for first and second place in the league. Although Benfica is still at the top of the league with a goal difference, Sporting Lisbon is actually one less game than Benfica, as long as the team can successfully defeat the opponent in the supplementary stage, Sporting Lisbon is actually the most competitive team this season, and Sporting Lisbon has not only shown strong offensive ability recently, but also excellent defense, the previous five games Sporting Lisbon kept four clean sheets in a row. It can be said that the team can also take into account the defensive intensity well while attacking.
In their last game, Sporting Lisbon beat Morerense 2-0 away to make it five wins in a row. Judging from the process of the game, this game Sporting Lisbon fully demonstrated a balanced offensive and defensive ability away from home, not only the possession rate was far ahead of the opponent, but the number of shot attempts was 12 times more than that of Morerense, it can be said that under the strong midfield encirclement of Sporting Lisbon players, Moreirence was completely in a passive situation in this campaign, if it were not for Sporting Lisbon to take a two-goal lead and then have reservations, I am afraid that Morerence will probably suffer a more painful defeat.
Young people are a strong team from the Swiss Super League, because the team was assigned to the same group as Manchester City and Leipzig in the Champions League, so in the end the young people did not achieve too good results in the Champions League group stage, and the team in the Europa League qualifying round encountered the strong Sporting Lisbon, it can be said that the European journey of this Swiss Super League team this season is likely to come to an end.
From the perspective of the tactical board, the young people sacrificed a set of 433 impact formation to compete with Sporting Lisbon in the first leg, but from the perspective of the game process, the offensive ability of the 433 formation not only failed to get a chance to show, but the too loose midfield defense exposed more defensive gaps, and it can be said that this tactical style of play cannot pose any threat to Sporting Lisbon at all. However, the young people in the last round of the league is a set of 4141 formation, obviously in the case of the first leg loss, the team is planning to take the initiative to change the formation to seek the opportunity to advance, but unfortunately the young people after all the first leg is two goals behind the opponent, if the team in the second meeting in the process of joint defense tactics, then Sporting Lisbon does not need to invest too much energy in the offensive end, obviously at this stage to seek tactical changes for young people has lost the opportunity.
Match Analysis:
Because Sporting Lisbon won 3-1 away from home in the first leg, in the case of taking the initiative to advance, it is obvious that Sporting Lisbon can fully devote its energy to the midfield confrontation in this game, and the defensive stability of Sporting Lisbon in recent times is quite good, and the various offensive methods of the opponent are basically unable to easily penetrate the midfield defense of Sporting Lisbon. On the other hand, on the young side, due to the mistakes in the first leg of tactical play, the team fell into a passive situation in the second leg of the encounter, although the young people performed well in the local league, but in the final analysis, it is related to the weaker strength of the opponent, considering that the overall strength and offensive and defensive state of Sporting Lisbon are far better than those of young people, and young people can only seek more opportunities to score goals by taking the initiative in this game, I believe that Sporting Lisbon after a hard midfield struggle, There is a high probability that they will still be able to gain three points again in the youngsters.
Europa League: Roma vs Feyenoord
Competition time: 2024-02-23 04:00 Friday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Roma's form has obviously improved recently, and the team is currently ranked sixth in the league with a record of 12 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. While there is still a four-point gap between Roma and fourth-placed Atalanta, there are still 13 games left to play in Serie A, and as long as the team can continue to play good attacking form, Roma still have a chance to compete for a place in next season's Champions League.
Personally, since Jose Mourinho's departure, Roma have reverted to being a team dominated by attacking football. It remains to be seen how the new coach De Rossi's coaching ability is, but it is undeniable that De Rossi has activated the offensive attributes of the Roma players after taking over the coaching whip, and now the Roma team has decreased in defensive intensity, but after the offensive ability is improved, it can indeed fully show the team's league competitiveness when facing weaker opponents, but considering that the other four teams are also strong after all, if the Roma team cannot do both offensive and defensive, Then the team may still suffer a lot in the follow-up dialogue.
Feyenoord have been in decent form this season, with 16 wins, four draws and two defeats, ranking second in the league. Because the league leader PSV Eindhoven is in very stable form, it does not leave too many opportunities for Feyenoord to catch up, so Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven have now opened up a 10-point gap. However, there is also an eight-point gap between Feyenoord and third-placed FC Twente, with the top two teams in the Eredivisie securing a Champions League spot next season, meaning that as long as Feyenoord can maintain a steady pace, the team can focus more on cup competition.
It is worth mentioning that Feyenoord still maintains an unbeaten record of 11 consecutive games, although the team lost to Mainz in the warm-up game in the off-season, but the nature of the warm-up game is only to help the team find the feeling of the game, it can be said that losing the game will not affect the morale of the players in any way, and this team itself is a team with good attacking ability, in the last game against Roma, Feyenoord has a certain advantage in terms of possession and shots.
Match Analysis:
Roma and Feyenoord are old rivals, in the 2022 season, the Roma team won the first UEFA Cup trophy in the team's history by defeating Feyenoord in the UEFA Cup, and in the 2023 season, the two sides met again in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Although Feyenoord's overall strength is not inferior to the Roma team, but the Roma team is a team with a very good home record, the team has only lost two games at home so far this season, although the first leg team did not grab the right to advance away from home, but after returning to the home stadium, in the cheering of the home fans, the Roma team must be able to take advantage of some of the field advantages, considering Feyenoord's European results are more average, I believe that the Roma team can not solve the battle in the regular time, However, the team still have good hopes of snatching a place in promotion at Feyenoord with a good home performance.
